2. MEDIUM OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
• The medium over the shoulder shot is framed from behind a person who is looking
at the subject, but in this case the shot would be framed behind a person further
away from the subject. This shot is beneficial because it helps establish the position
of each person.
• I think potentially this shot could prove difficult because we have to position the
camera properly to capture the conversation between Tony and Matt, but at the
same time adjust the range of the shot so it can be mid range.

3. LOW ANGLE MEDIUM SHOT
• A low angle shot is positioned at a low camera angle, anywhere below the eye line,
looking up. The shot is helpful due to the effects the shot has which is to make
someone look powerful and strong.
• This shot could take longer to execute due to the position of the camera being lower
down and in mid range of the characters in the shot needing to be perfected to
feature the shot in our film.

4. SPLIT SCREEN
• Split Screen is the division of the screen, usually in half but can be done several
times. This shot is helpful because it shows 2 different events happening at once,
making the audience feel anxious to see if the getaway driver can get to save the
protagonist in time.
• This shot would take the longest due to 2 different moments in the film needing to
be split, so it both sequences would be in synchronization with each other to make
the split screen more natural.

5. SLOW MOTION
• Slow motion is where time in a film is slowed down and is createdwhen each frame
is captured at a rate faster than it will be played back. This would be useful at the
end to make our film more dramatic when Tony falls to the ground.
• This shot will still be difficult to perfect because of the editing skills needed to make
the slow motion happen and look professional at the end of our film.

6. PAN/ZOOM TO CLOSE UP
• This shot combines the camera zooming in on something showing the character’s
face and the camera moved from right to left to illustrate the scene. We would use
this when Matt takes one last look at Tony on the floor, with the protagonist
mocking him.
• This shot could be tricky as the effect of the close up needs to be created whilst
panning the camera at a smooth speed to make the film slightly more natural.
